Comment on 28 – Complete the Tattoo Project by Rachi https://mondayinthekitchen.wordpress.com/2011/07/07/28-complete-the-tattoo-project/#comment-9
Sun, 10 Jul 2011 16:18:51 +0000http://mondayinthekitchen.wordpress.com/?p=119#comment-9Aw, your turtle! I remember that 1st day in class when you showed me your tattoo and thinking how fearless you were and how feminine your ink looked. I wanted one immediately. I got my first tat (a crescent moon & shooting star) at 21, my 2nd (a heart incorporating a star) at 24 & my 3rd (& last?) hibiscus at 29. I do not regret my 1st two & much smaller tattoos; they are reminders of hope & possibilty. However, my 3rd was much more thought out, the artist & shop thoroughly researched, & means the most to me. My mother never was a fan of my smaller 2 and I was dreading showing her my latest being sooo much bigger than the rest. Upon revealing my art & explaining it to her, Mom was moved to tears. I felt like I had chosen ink that could be timeless, not just representative of the moment. I think the decision to get inked matures with you. None of mine were chosen out of the book, and my 3rd is the only one I did not design myself. At an earlier age, I put faith in strangers to permanantly put my own art on my body. And being closer to 30 I let someone who put me at such ease in charge of a piece that I was not 100% sure what the outcome would be. I like to think it’s a metaphor for how we develop trust as “grown ups.”

Classic San Francisco and it reminds me of my parents growing up. Love the tribute! I am also very impressed by the two tattoo appointments in two months thing you’ve got going on.
Have you had any issues with the job and your visible wrist tattoo? I would really really like a forearm tattoo but am really worried about getting a job in conservative South Dakota.
Also I have always wanted to get either the Bay or Golden Gate bridge tattoo’d either on the inside of my bicep or top of my thigh! Because really, there is no such thing as having too many CA tribute tats. 😉 For a while it was my plan to get the state flower for every state that I’ve ever lived in, but now I’m up to so many that I think it might look a little insane with roses, bluebonnets, poppies, lady slippers, purple pasque flower, and the yucca flower. Too many flowers up in my bidness.

I have also thought of poppies, also as a tribute, but am still on the fence. I am getting a tribute to Portland on my right bicep in September though, the Hawthorne Bridge, my favorite of the 5-6 bridges of my other adopted home. I have an appointment in August for sweet-peas over my left shoulder, for Penelope obvs., with my favorite tattoo guy in SF, Jesse Tuesday. He did my phoenix wings and I love his work. I also have “don’t stop” tattooed on my right wrist, this will have to be redone someday. I got it with my oldest girlfriend, Ashley, as a reminder to keep going and with a nod to Journey, as my as I am embarrassed to admit. Today at the grocery store my checker asked me what it meant. I sort of raised my eyebrows and looked at him quizzically “don’t stop”, I smiled and we both laughed.
This is a great item for your bucket list, I am totally a body art enthusiast!

Comment on Times, They Are a’Changing by Preggy Project https://mondayinthekitchen.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/times-they-are-achanging/#comment-5
Sun, 27 Mar 2011 15:03:28 +0000http://mondayinthekitchen.wordpress.com/?p=65#comment-5Good luck with the move! I can totally relate about not having interest in babies when your life is in transition. We got married and bought a house in the suburbs because we needed more room for the baby. Problem was, we got too preoccupied with the transition — home improvement and stuff — that TTC became almost impossible. Four years later, we now have all this extra room for the baby (ies) but no baby!http://www.preggyproject.com/
